Neenv: A programme that focuses on the critical issue of livelihood for youth. The aim is to enable the youth in making informed choices in life by generating awareness among them about livelihood options. 35 youth have completed courses in computers, Spoken English and Fabric painting. The Current focus is to prepare a database of skills sets available among youth in the community along with a database on services required by people around. This would be followed with identifying and partnering with organizations interested in building capacities of such youth to enhance their skills or introduce new skills. The core objectives of the programme are to: • Build a collective of young people, who recognize their self-worth and are aware of their rights • Facilitate a process whereby youth receive information on available opportunities and are guided towards making informed choices. SAHER wishes to add more value to the concept of a community centre. There emerged a strong need to update courses and link them to the market requirements. This will be the highlight of Neenv- a house of knowledge. It has been designed as a programme for the youth who would step out into the world, with self-confidence and sensitivity. These youth would create a niche for themselves in their larger environment and thereby add value to existing systems. Hence the goal of Neenv is strategic to SAHER’s larger goal, since it provides a space, where youth from across communities and backgrounds interact and explore together. Objectives: 1) To build a collective of young people, who recognize their self-worth and are aware of their rights 2)To build capacities of this collective, to enable them to utilize available opportunities optimally and take responsibility of their decisions, towards their own selves and their immediate environment 3)To make knowledge and information accessible for the youth so that it could enhance their potential in making them economically independent.
